Admin Panel Guide

With UniServer running you can access apanel at any time by typing http://localhost/apanel/ or http://localhost/a/ into your browser address bar.

The following table mimics apanel's main menu links, most links are self-explanatory however where appropriate I have provided additional information (follow the links). External links are off-site links and correspond to apanel's information links.

Note: If challenged by your firewall allow access otherwise you will need to manually set-up your firewall. If the server is already running you will receive the following message "MySQL server already running." It’s a conformation message indicating that a second instance of the server has been prevented from running and causing serious contention and problems.

Note 1: If you want to prevent apanel display when the servers are started open file Server_Start.bat locate the line start %apanel%\redirect.html and comment it out by adding either ":" or "rem" at the start of the line eg rem start %apanel%\redirect.html

Note 2: When you change Apache port for example to 8080 starting the servers automatically redirects to apanel. To run apanel manually you must include the port number for example type the following http://localhost:8080/apanel/ into a browser address bar. If the port number had been 81 you would type http://localhost:81/apanel/
